- Description
- Nachtwey argues that chivalry was "a pragmatic institution" that created a framework for understanding/controlling knightly violence. Further argues that this concept of chivalry is apparent in the works of Froissart and Chaucer (especially in TC and CT), as well as in a host of chivalric manuals.
